Error received when I was trying to check state of boot record
Hello,
This is a test/lab LPAR. Recently installed and updated the SP/TL. everything seems to be working fine. (ran all post install checks)

I checked the state of boot record, received the following error/failed message. Can you please explain what does this mean ?
Code:
[root@testlpar]/>ipl_varyon -i
[S 2980856 3932356 06/03/16-10:56:56:332 ipl_varyon.c 1313] ipl_varyon -i

[E 2980858 0:021 ipl_varyon.c 1285] ipl_varyon: exited with rc=6

I've tried re-created the boot image using bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0. But still the same.

thank you

I'm not an AIX expert but the IBM bible says the error means:

"The physical volume is not a member of a volume group" so I reckon that error is expected.
